Latest
- Did the February 1 2024 wind damage San Clemente roofs?On 1 February 2024 the daily maximum gust modelled at San Clemente was about 54 mph, high enough to peel back anything already loose on a roof but short of the 58 mph severe threshold, so the damage that storm left behind is almost always at edges and fasteners, not whole roof sections.
- Did the December 24 2025 wind damage San Clemente roofs?On 24 December 2025 the modelled gust at San Clemente reached about 46 mph, a strong but not severe reading that would not rip off a sound roof but would exploit anything already loose, like a lifted shingle tab or an unsealed ridge cap.
- Why do roofs in San Clemente fail early on old homes?On older Spanish-revival homes in San Clemente, the roof itself usually outlasts the underlayment beneath the clay tile, and the failure point is the salvage work: original barrel tile must be lifted and relaid rather than replaced, because matching it is often impossible, which is a different and slower trade than tearing off shingles.
